About This Lesson
This lesson is designed to help students better understand the concept of scientific theory and then requires them to use what they have learned to evaluate the scientific theory of Climate Change.
Students will explore one type of observation scientists use to study climate change — glaciers and sea ice melt — through online video and interactive media tools. Students will be asked to evaluate the strength of climate change as a scientific theory based on evidence they found and reflect on what it means to both local and global communities.
